I don’t have enough good words to say about Gina. She is knowledgeable, kind, and excellent at her job. From the moment we booked her to the minute we left the dance floor at the wedding, she was the most helpful person. She made sure that we were on the same page every step of the way. She came with ideas and solutions when we had something that we wanted to do, but didn’t know quite how to execute. I would recommend her over and over again. You will not be disappointed and neither will your guests.

Gina was absolutely amazing as our wedding DJ. Her live mixing kept us on the dance floor all night and even got my Grandparents dancing!
She was also incredibly attentive to us throughout the night, always making sure we had a drink in hand and everything we needed. She worked seamlessly with our photographer and coordinator so that we never had to check the time or worry about what came next.
On top of being insanely talented, Gina has a fantastic personality and brought such a fun energy to the entire planning process. At this point, I’m considering inviting her to future family events just for entertainment! Highly, highly recommend her and Crucial Entertainment.

Jason Betancourt with Crucial Entertainment was an absolute standout from start to finish. He set us up for success at every stage of our wedding with professionalism, warmth, and genuine expertise.
One of the things that impressed us most was how thoughtfully he curated the music. Our guest list spanned two cultures, my family (American/English-speaking) and my wife’s (American/Hispanic, Spanish-speaking), and Jason seamlessly blended both worlds into a playlist that had everyone on the dance floor.

Beyond the music itself, every logistical detail was handled flawlessly: sound setup, lighting, and punctual setup and breakdown without a hitch. But what truly set Jason apart was how much he helped us prepare for the day itself. My wife and I planned our entire wedding independently, and having someone with hundreds of weddings under his belt — someone who asked exactly the right questions and guided us through what we didn’t know to ask — was invaluable.

He’s not just talented at what he does; he’s kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day special. After just one evening together, it felt like we’d made a friend for life.

I would recommend Jason and Crucial Entertainment without hesitation a million times over, and then some. Thank you 🙏​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Gina was phenomenal to work with. She was easy to book, so flexible with meeting us (we planned our wedding from another city), and was super responsive. She was thorough in asking about songs we wanted to hear, songs that were requested, and most importantly, songs we *didn't* want to hear. I absolutely adored working with her. She even matched her outfit to our wedding colors! An absolute delight and super reliable. I definitely recommend her to any and all looking for a DJ for their big day.

I'm a photographer of 16 years. Some DJs have really rubbed me the wrong way, made things about them with content, or do things when we leave the room after telling them we were taking a dinner break.. etc.. Gina is respectful of guests wishes, song requests, amazing transitions, all white stunning equipment setup.. and just a very cool person! I would highly recommend her!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Gina being the DJ for our wedding. Everything ran so smoothly from the start of the ceremony to the end of reception. Our friends and family all enjoyed dancing all night long! Please book her for your events :)

Jason with Crucial Entertainment was one of the best parts of our wedding day. He did such a great job at hyping us and our guests up and keeping everyone on the dance floor. Dancing at weddings is usually not one of our favorite parts of the wedding as guests, so we weren't expecting to enjoy being on the dance floor at our wedding very much, but it was one of the best parts of the day because Jason did such a great job playing exactly the right songs to keep the energy where it needed to be. He also checked in with us as the bride and groom regularly to see if we needed anything or if we had any different requests. He's an excellent DJ and also just a really great guy. Our friends and family all thought he did an amazing job, especially my cousin who got to dance to all her favorite Taylor Swift songs. Jason is the absolute best and if you're thinking you want a DJ for your wedding in St. Louis, Jason is 100% your guy.

I can’t recommend Gina enough. From the beginning she was professional, organized, and extremely nice. She made it known from the beginning that the day was about us and she wanted to do whatever she could so we had a perfect day. Gina arrived early, offered to help with any thing she could, had drinks waiting for us, and help control our large loud crowd. She played every song we chose and mixed in other songs that were perfect for our crowd. She made the dance floor the place to be! Every person I have seen since my wedding has said, “your dj was awesome”. Do yourself a favor and book Gina, and recomend her. You won’t have to worry about a thing!

We were so happy that we chose Gina and Crucial Entertainment as our wedding DJ! Gina was fantastic to work with and responsive to all of our requests and needs. Her talent brought the house down with a lively mix that captivated the dance floor! I would highly recommend Gina and Crucial Entertainment for a wedding or any other event!

Jason truly is one of the best in the business. He makes everything so personal and special for your big day. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly and perfectly!

Jason did my sister’s wedding in 2021 and mine in 2025. We are constantly getting compliments to this day on how amazing Jason made everything.

We have absolutely loved working with Jason and we cannot recommend him enough!!
